Hi everyone!  Summer is finally here!  Woo-hoo!  Now if it would just quit raining all of the time!

Dave and I are heading out today to the Poconos for a weekend retreat.  We are riding the scooters up and as long as the rain holds off, it looks like it will be a beautiful 3 1/2 hr ride.  Last weekend we were in Baltimore for a wedding and stayed at a hotel in the Inner Harbor.  We spent Sunday walking the harbor and had a wonderful and relaxing time.  We had been there a few years ago and we were constantly commenting how wonderful it was to walk all day and not be tired or winded.  Heck the last time we ended up laying in the grass and taking a nap and we didn't even do a small fraction of the walking we did this trip.  Life is so much more enjoyable now!  Amazing what a 150 pounds loss can do for someone!

We are having so much fun living life that we are struggling to stay home long enough to get the work done around the house that needs to be done.  We have all these things we want to do around the house but can't stay home long enough to get them done.  One thing this surgery is doing for me is helping me see that there is a life out there to be had and lived and somehow the things I used to think were important aren't all that in the big picture.  I am 19 months out from surgery and the wow moments continue coming.  Gotta love it!

Congratulations to Karen for joining us on the loser's bench.  She can't wipe the grin off her face right now but it is nothing compared to what she has in store for her in the future.  It is exciting seeing others coming behind us and knowing what great things are in store for them.  It is unimagineable to them right now...no way they can comprehend it...heck I am still shell shocked most of the time!  LOL! 

Have I ever mentioned just how hard it is to shave under my arms when there is nothing but a big crater there?  I look like such a contortionist trying to shave! 

Well, I must go get ready to leave for the weekend.  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Blessings, Robin
